Hoping we remind the Clips why this place was NBA hell for visitors.
Stay healthy Gibson, we need you.

What if...

I am unfortunately at BC-FSU tonight, hopefully I’m back for the fourth quarter.

Yea I know they are. But name me off a list of NBA players who had their careers end in their first 3 years because of concussions.

There aren’t many, but it’s still not good.

It’s not about his career ending now, it’s about the possibility of this being a recurring problem.

The Clips are weak without Billups. I can’t remember any time where so few teams in the league truly had depth.

Slow start. This is going to get ugly without a true point

Gibson vs. Mo. This had to happen in practice a ton

on Blake. Double bonus

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 7:10 PM CST up reply actions  

To answer Kyrie question: He hit Wade’s knee on a drive yesterday after he was fouled. Headache that worsened until today, leading to concussion diagnosis.

Andy, still awesome

Okay, who had an Andy to Casspi alley-oop working?
Also, Griffin is an ass

take this concussion thing serious

i.e Sidney Crosby. don’t take it lightly

by jscottgrad on Feb 8, 2012 7:36 PM CST reply actions  

There’s a slight difference in the contact level of hockey and basketball, but you’re right. We should be concerned. In other news, Cavs are beyond fired up and Blake is going to fight someone. Where’s Ryan Hollins when you need him?

by ahowie on Feb 8, 2012 7:37 PM CST up reply actions  

Clippers cannot handle our intensity right now.

by ahowie on Feb 8, 2012 7:39 PM CST reply actions  

Beginning to think Coach played Luke and Hollins yesterday to save the good players to crash these upstarts.

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 7:39 PM CST reply actions  

Need to keep them off the foul line. They can’t make anything else right now.

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 7:46 PM CST reply actions  

Finish strong. Heck, finish neutral. Because we have to ice down Andy

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 7:52 PM CST reply actions  

Clips only 2-3 while entering 4th trailing. That is a lot of leads

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 7:55 PM CST reply actions  

Starting to look like a Kyrie-less Cavs team.

by ahowie on Feb 8, 2012 8:02 PM CST reply actions  

Really slow today

by iso1512 on Feb 8, 2012 8:03 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

They cut the lead apart, but it cost them all their fouls to give.

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 8:05 PM CST reply actions  

That’s a bogus flagrant, but we got away with one earlier when Samardo just flat out pushed Blake down around his midsection and the only thing that resulted other than a regular shooting foul was a Kenyon Martin technical.

by ahowie on Feb 8, 2012 8:08 PM CST reply actions  

I guess the lesson is don’t try and catch him

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 8:08 PM CST reply actions  

Ramon with a double double 20-10

What if...

by Danieldelamaiz on Feb 8, 2012 8:12 PM CST reply actions  

Antawn and Ramon have really picked up the slack without Kyrie. Efficient games from both of them.

by ahowie on Feb 8, 2012 8:13 PM CST reply actions  

Perfect D from Andy and Blake gets the call.

Screw these refs

Ugh…really needed Gee to finish that slam.

Andy is such a champ.

Of course Blake shoots 9/10 FTs when he’s making 50% on the season.

Are you kidding me Boobie?

I’m a UC basketball fan, so I will always like Kenyon Martin. I can’t help but feel bad for the guy considering injuries cost him what could have been a special career.

I’m really impressed with how this team comes out of half-time. It seems like Byron Scott always wins the coaching battle.

Well heck, if he can’t outcoach Vinny Del Negro it’s a crime against humanity.
